A solid, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and sturdy verticals. The strokes stay consistent in weight, with clean joins and minimal modulation, giving the forms a smooth, even color on the line. Counters are generous in letters like O, D, and P, while terminals tend to be blunt and decisively finished. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and overall spacing and proportions read compact but not tight, maintaining clear letter separation at text sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where strong presence and clarity are needed, such as branding, packaging, posters, and signage. The consistent stroke weight and open counters help it remain legible in dense layouts, while its geometric roundness gives display settings a modern, approachable character.
The font conveys a confident, straightforward tone with a friendly edge from its roundness and open shapes. Its heft and even rhythm feel contemporary and practical, more approachable than austere, and well-suited to messaging that needs clarity with presence.
Designed to deliver a dependable, high-impact sans appearance with geometric cleanliness and friendly round forms. The aim appears to balance straightforward readability with a bold, modern voice that holds up well in prominent typographic roles.
Round characters (O, C, G) are notably circular, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and stable, avoiding delicate points. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with familiar, readable silhouettes and consistent weight that matches the letters.
